On married life and having a baby in the house
again : “So far so good. We are still babies in the
marriage institution so we are taking it easy. We
are learning something new every day within our
marriage. Having a baby in the house has
definitely changed some things. I can’t do some
things I used to do like go out and not come
back home the same night. Prior to having
a baby in the house, I could just go to a friend’s
house and stay the night. But now I have to
take permission (laughs). It has definitely
grounded me. It is a good change though and I
don’t miss the old days at all.”
On if marriage has changed anything about he
and Annie’s relationship: “Definitely! We
understand and tolerate each other more.”
On what makes Annie marriage material and the
union so special: “Wow. I guess because she’s
good peoples. That is the only one sentence I
can use to describe her. I hate the way she
knows me so well.”
On why he didn’t go the Fela route and have 18
wives: “(Laughs) One woman alone is a lot of
trouble. Having 18 is a suicide mission. But I will
consider it. I will talk to Annie and ask her if she
can compromise (laughs).”
On DJ Xclusive saying Nigerian men prefer light
skinned ladies: “I think that is his own
preference. He can’t just generalise like that. In
Nigeria, there are men that like big women and
some that like skinny women. Same way I know
so many guys that
only go for dark skinned women, and being light
skinned is a turn off for them, I also know some
men that prefer light skinned women. Most of
the women that I have dated are dark skinned
so I guess you can say that is my own
preference, which is good as my wife is actually
dark skinned too, so no worries there.”
On praises from fellow artistes: “I feel honoured
and privileged to be referred to as a legend.
But at the same time it puts so much pressure
on me when I am performing and releasing new
music as expectations can become too high. I
just want people to keep an open mind. When
you hear new music from me, treat it like you
are listening to me for the first time, so there is
no pressure.”
On another profession apart from
music: “Maybe I would be a goal keeper for a
football team somewhere (laughs).
On his craziest fan encounter: “This girl tried to
touch the guy downstairs. It was very alarming.”
On the funniest/biggest rumour about himself :
“Probably has to be the rumour that I had died. I
started getting calls from friends that “Oh boy
they said u don die”. So I am sitting there like
really? I am dead? Death is no joke but I just try
to make light of rumours like that.”
